Even cute puppy Clifford napping in an egg carton can't make this lift-the-flap book interesting. The weirdest thing is this one page that makes it look like Bridwell might have been implying a little bit of potty humor:

I find it hard to believe puppy Clifford could fit inside an egg carton.

Clifford is always a big hit in this household and our girls loved this book, especially because it's a lift-the-flap book. Our girls enjoy reading books in the Clifford series and we will certainly look for more books like this at our local library.

This book is interesting. It has vivid pictures. The book is very subtle and great for kids. The pop up pictures are very inviting. This is a book that i would buy for my children. The book talks about how emily spends easter with her dog. This book has a very good theme

A cute little book but those flaps won't last long. They open in different directions which throws off the kiddo looking for consistency and she ends up ripping at them.

Cute and fun. The artist could have drawn Emily Elizabeth a lot better though.

Fun! It’s very fitting that an Easter book would be a flap book.

Clifford is huge figure in many peoples lives literally. The show has been around for ages it was a great show and so are the books. This book specifies Clifford's first Easter. "It's interesting and can be considered the term many people use as "cute."It shows when Clifford was a pup and how he grew up and was a positive affect on many peoples lives.
This is a small book easy to keep in a back pack. This interactive book is good for children from ages 3-7 yrs.

I felt some nostalgia when I picked up this Clifford book. I read these while growing up. The story is cute enough, but nothing exciting. What really catches the readers' attention is the flaps. Of course it didn't really engage me now that I'm older, but I would definitely recommend it for young children. They love books like this!

Clifford is huge figure in many peoples lives literally. The show has been around for ages it was a great show and so are the books. This book specifies Cliffords first Easter. Its interesting and can be considered the term may people use as "cute" because it shows when clifford was a pup and how he spent his day on his first easter.

This story talks about how Clifford had his first Easter. He got to paint eggs and find them. When Clifford was looking for eggs he almost made new friend. Clifford had the best easter ever.I like the book. i like the characters & the ways its colored its ever cute.

i think this book is good for children. This book would go nice for first graders or a bed time story. Its about Cliford going on his first Easter egg hunt. It's an interactive book for a 4 year old.

[Abel Robles · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book i just read its about a dog. Thats its his first easter. He was hunting for eggs. Its a good story to me cause I have a dog and it reminds me of him I like dogs their so play full. I will definitely recommend this book to younger readers that like Clifford.

I love all of the Clifford books. I think they're all super cute and sweet. I remember my mom reading me this one. The illustrations are cute as always. And the flip pictures are fun too. All about Clifford's very first easter.
